INFANT-HOLDIN G STRAP FOR CHAIRS AND VEHICLES.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD F. Host a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Atchison, in the county of Atchison and State of Kansas, havejnvented certain new and useful Im rovements in Infant- Holding Stra s for ghairs and Vehicles, of which the fol owing is a specification.

This invention relates to devices for holding infants in chairs orcarriages and has relation particularly to a body engaging member having means for strapping or attaching the same to a chair or vehicle.

An object ofthis invention is to provide a detachable belt or body encircling device,-

having means connected thereto for adjustably attaching the same to the arms of the lclliair or portions of a baby'carriage or the A further object of this invention is to proyide novel means for retaining an infant in a chair, vehicle or the like, said means being ada ted to encircle the body of the infant pre erably just under the arms, the said body encircling device having its means of attachment with the chair or vehicle, back of the center of the body encircling device when the same is in place.

A stillfurther object of this invention is to provide a device for holding infants in chairs, vehicles and the like, comprising few parts, which would prove efficient and satisfactory in use and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture. a

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and in the arrangement and combination of parts to be hereafter more fully set forth and claimed.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawinglforming part of this specification, wherein 'ke characters denote corresponding parts in the several views, and in Which Figure'l illustrates a chair with the invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the device complete. Fig. 3 is a detail view of a fragment of the belt.

the said connecting means being preferably adjustable to suit particular requirements. I

At points nearer the center of the body encircling device than the ends thereof, are transversely disposed slots B forming bars D adapted to be embraced by the straps E, for anchoring or securing the body encircling member to a chair or to a seat or other fixed part of a vehicle.

The straps E are preferably provided with buckles so that the end of the stra may be passed around the chair standar s or the like, the ends of said stra s being then secured by the buckles. is shown in the drawing, each strap E is passed through any two of the slots B and made to embrace one of the bars D after which the said strap extends rearwardly of the infant and is connected as stated to a fixed portion of a chair or vehicle.

The body portion is designed to encircle the body preferably under the arms of the from pitching forward. By means of the adjust'ment permitted the stra s for anchoring the body encircling device, t e same may be drawn quite close to the fixed object, thus preventing the infant from getting much of a swin to the body or securing momentum which would enable him to pitch forward and overturn a chair.

I claim:

' A body encircling member having two se ries of transversely disposed bars therein, said bars bein located at each side of that art of the bodi portion adapted to lie on the ack of the w arer, straps passing around said bars, fastening means on the body encircling member, the said straps being made in the form of loops, larger at one end than at the other, and bemg provided with fastening devices in the form of buckles, said straps being capable of being vehicle or of bein used as hand holds.

In testimony whereof, I allix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
